3. To recognize your nRFConnect SDK version case by case

Intro: The preparation of nRF Connect SDK Vx.x.x(NCS SDK version, ) and Nordic Example code will help you get through the program code building and trace debug in VS Code IDE or Segger Embedded Studio IDE. Here’s the brief way to recognize your nRFConnect SDK version which suits your project development.

Step1.

  Activated your “nRF Connect for Desktop”  >> “Toolchain Manager” >> “Open” >> “Install”

(**Note: The development nRF Connect SDK(NCS) provides with free VS Code IDE and Segger Embedded Studio IDE as compiling system)

Step2.

To recognize your project is with or without Audio inquiry and download the “nRF Connect SDK(NCS)” by the following classification.

A.) Project with Non-Audio case

Option1. Go with NCS V1.9.1 (Included) and previous version.

There’re either “Open VS Code” or “Open Segger Embedded Studio” IDE options could be selected for program coding.

Option2. Go with NCS V2.0.0(included) and the later.

 There’s simply “Open VS Code” IDE that could be run for program coding.

B.) Project with “Audio” inquiry

You would only have option of NCS V2.0.0(included) and the later version working in “Open VS Code” IDE.

Step3.

 Please make sure the nRFConnect SDK is installed at same base directory with compiling system  (the root of Open VS Code)

(This is using D:\ncs-work base as example.)    

If the base is not directing to the same, do “Select directory’” to re-direct the route.

Step4.

!! Important Tips:!!

 

  • If you’re using nRF Connect SDK for code compiling as above, Program the hex file to MDBT50Q BLE module on the MDBT50Q-DB Demo board:
    – C:\ncs\v2.6.0\nrf\samples\bluetooth\peripheral_uart\build\zephyr\zephyr.hex
  • If you’re using NRF5 SDK for code compiling, do make the 4-in-1 hex file (merged ready) before programming it to MDBT50Q BLE module.  It includes the 4 hex files below:

(1) bootloader.hex

(2) bootloader_setting_file.hex

(3) s140_nrf52_7.2.0_softdevice.hex

(4) nrf52840_xxaa.hex

1.4 DFU to MDBT50Q-DB-XX through USB interface

Intro : Before DFU implement , Please make sure the bootloader file has been installed in your MDBT50Q BLE module.

※Note: NRF52840 SoC supports USB interface to utilize Device Firmware Update (DFU).

How do I prepare the software??

  • Download nrfutil.exe file from Nordic website .
  • It is workable to do List, Program, Recover, Erase, and operations with nRFutil device command to Nordic device.
  • Open DOS mode to install device command type: nrfutil install device

(Jocelyn) How To Use NRF52840 NRF52833 module Dev Kit (MDBT50Q Series) 2024 version - Release file

How do I setup the hardware??

  1. Press Switch 4 and hold
  2. Power up Demo Board
  3. Blue LED Lights on
  4. Demo Board successfully enters into USB DFU Mode

螢幕擷取畫面 2024-06-04 162504

How do I prepare the firmware??

**USB DFU works only in DOS mode.

**USB DFU only works when USB Bootloader installed in current loaded firmware (inside BLE Module)

A single, merged 4-in-1 hex file is required, which includes:

Bootloader, Bootloader setting, Softdevice, and Application.

Firmware DFU requires a .zip file.

USB DFU Execution Steps:

Step 1. When Blue LED Lights on with MDBT50Q-DB (Ready to enter USB DFU Mode)

Step 2. Find out Com Port No. “nRF52 SDFU USB(COMxx)”

螢幕擷取畫面 2024-06-04 162542

Step 3. Execute USB DFU

Option 1. Using device program command:

(1) List the devices with a DFU trigger interface by running:

nrfutil device list –traits nordicDfu

Option1-1

(2) Program new firmware to a device identified by its serial number by running:

nrfutil device program –firmware .zip nrf52840_xxaa.zip –serial-number XXXXXXXXXXXX

Option1-2
